I actual found a new old stock relay fairly easily a couple of years ago
when I installed my overdrive. I returned it, however, when I couldn't
find the switch. I now use a Rootes switch that must be turned off
manually. I'm not sure what car it originally came on. Does anyone
know whether the self-canceling switches are available?
